My husband, dad, and the best man looked so amazing on our wedding day on 5/7/17. This is the tuxedo place my dad went to when he married my mom! So thank you for helping out with our generation as well! The three men looked so very handsome!

We rented my husband's wedding tux at Southern Formals as an afterthought. We had no plans to purchase a tux and just happened to drive past this place on our way home one day - it's a little shop off of Federal, but kind of tucked away. Anyway, we were the only clients in the place, the service was impeccable, and they work on an online sizing system (along with many other tux places) that can process measurements for groomsmen who live out of town. We picked up the tuxes all at once the day before our wedding and everything was perfect. The pricing and selection were the very best - lowest prices that we found and my hubs got to wear a Michael Kors tux with a bowtie and pocket square that we had never seen before! Rent your tux here!

Great Selection & Always Great Customer Service

Great Selection & Always Great Customer Service

My fiancé and I were looking for a place to rent suits for the groomsmen for our wedding in April but after going to a couple of bigger name brand stores we were not at all impressed with the selection, prices, or service that we received and were getting kind of frustrated driving around looking.... When we came across Southern Formals.

The store is tiny and a bit dated but we were greeted by the nicest gentleman when we walked in and he immediately took care of us and asked us what we were looking for our wedding day. Even though the display window had a really outdated tux and wedding dress on display inside they had a really beautiful selection of modern and elegant tuxedos and suits and ties and bow ties. We showed the gentleman there a photo of what we were looking for our daytime wedding in Ft Lauderdale and they helped us find exactly what we were looking for in no time. The guy helping us was so funny and had such a great sense of humor and made our day!

We ordered a beautiful light grey suit with silver ties and black shiny shoes for the groomsmen and everyone at the wedding gave us so many compliments on how beautiful the suits looked and how great the quality of them were.

If you're looking for a place to rent a suit or tuxedo, highly recommend Southern Formals! Picking up the suits was quick and easy and returning them was easy and quick too. Everything was just great and the service was absolutely fantastic.

Thank you Southern Formals for helping make our wedding day so beautiful

Southern Formals - 50 plus years for a reason y'all

We used Southern Formals for our wedding in February 2019. My husband and I planned a wedding from abroad (myself in GA and him in Northern Ireland). We ordered 10 suits (one was free because of a special they had). Only 3 of the men were local to get sized, so everyone else had to send us their sizes. This was a bit worrisome seeing as a lot of the guests didn't get in until one or two days before, so it didn't leave us a whole lot of room for changes. Gerry and Chip were so good about making sure everyone was good to go the day of. All of our guys were super impressed at how quick and efficient they were at making changes that made a big difference in how the suits fit them all. This place seemed to always be pretty busy, but that's a great sign. These guys are professional, and they are well experienced. Prices are better than the typical Men's Warehouse because the quality of the rentals are amazing. Our guys looked amazing! Thanks Southern Formals!
